Reviewing Random Films For Fun

Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers #MovieReview

Time for another dip into the random bucket of films and this time we have 1993’s “Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers”. Written and directed by Nick Park and premiering on the BBC on December 26 1993, this short animated comedy film is about Wallace being used by a criminal penguin in a robbery involving mechanical trousers. For a short film that’s only 30 minutes long, this is worth a watch. There is a lot of silent moments, mostly because there’s three characters and only one talks, but I feel the music and what was happening made up for it. It was simple and easy to follow what was going on and it left me asking questions which the film would go on to answers. If I was to be a bit nitpicky, the scene in the museum where Penguin gets the diamond could’ve been a bit shorter. I know it’s one of the main scenes in the film but I feel that if they could’ve sped it up a bit. Or, if this was to be remade, make the rooms in the museum a bit shorter. We see from Penguin’s plan that the distance from the air vent to the diamond is 30 feet. Maybe make it 20? Again, this is just nitpicking. Besides that, this is fun little film to watch on days where the weather outside is a bit rubbish (like right now where I am as it just started raining). If you have seen this short film then let me know what you thought of it in the comments. Here is what I had to say while watching 1993’s “Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers”
